About Us

Our Mission Statement:

The Graduate Student Research Colloquium (GSRC) is an organization of graduate students in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations (EALC) or otherwise pursuing graduate studies related to East Asia at the University of Pennsylvania.

The GSRC is held on the last Friday of each month at 5:00 PM in 843 Williams Hall. It provides an excellent opportunity for graduate students in our department to come together and workshop papers, share ongoing research projects, and socialize with one another in an open and safe environment. Food and drink are served at each meeting. The GSRC serves as a forum for EALC graduate students to disseminate knowledge about East Asia in an interdisciplinary setting. The goal of GSRC is to promote personal and communal development.
